Dell PFS BIOS Extractor

Description

Parses Dell PFS BIOS images and extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components. It supports all Dell PFS revisions and formats, including those which are originally compressed or split in chunks. The output comprises only final firmware components which are directly usable by end users. An optional Advanced user mode is available as well, which additionally extracts firmware Signatures and more Metadata.

Usage

You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Dell PFS BIOS images. Optional arguments:

-h or --help : show help message and exit
-a or --advanced : extract in advanced user mode

Download

An already built/frozen/compiled binary is provided by me for Windows only. Thus, you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it under Windows. Instead, download the latest version from the Releases tab. To extract the already built/frozen/compiled archive, you need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. Note that you need to manually apply any prerequisites.

Compatibility

Should work at all Windows, Linux or macOS operating systems which have Python 3.7 support. Windows users who plan to use the already built/frozen/compiled binary must make sure that they have the latest Windows Updates installed which include all required "Universal C Runtime (CRT)" libraries.

Prerequisites

To run the utility, you do not need any 3rd party tool.

Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller

PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often.

Make sure Python 3.7.0 or newer is installed:

python --version

Use pip to install PyInstaller:

pip3 install pyinstaller

Build/Freeze/Compile:

pyinstaller --noupx --onefile Dell_PFS_Extract.py

At dist folder you should find the final utility executable

Anti-Virus False Positives

Some Anti-Virus software may claim that the built/frozen/compiled executable contains viruses. Any such detections are false positives, usually of PyInstaller. You can switch to a better Anti-Virus software, report the false positive to their support, add the executable to the exclusions, build/freeze/compile yourself or use the Python script directly.

AMI BIOS Guard Extractor

Description

Parses AMI BIOS Guard (a.k.a. PFAT, Platform Firmware Armoring Technology) images, extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components and decompiles the Intel BIOS Guard Scripts. It supports all AMI PFAT revisions and formats, including those with nested AMI PFAT structures. The output comprises only final firmware components which are directly usable by end users.

Note that the AMI PFAT structure does not have an explicit component order. AMI's BIOS Guard Firmware Update Tool (AFUBGT) updates components based on the user/OEM provided Parameters and Options. That means that merging all the components together does not usually yield a proper SPI/BIOS/UEFI image. The utility does generate such a merged file with the name "X_00 -- AMI_PFAT_X_DATA_ALL.bin" but it is up to the end user to determine its usefulness. Moreover, any custom OEM data after the AMI PFAT structure are additionally stored in a file with the name "X_YY -- AMI_PFAT_X_DATA_END.bin" and it is once again up to the end user to determine its usefulness. In cases where the trailing custom OEM data include a nested AMI PFAT structure, the utility will process and extract it automatically as well.

Usage

You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing AMI BIOS Guard (PFAT) images.

Download

Compatibility

Prerequisites

To decompile the Intel BIOS Guard Scripts via the Python script, you need to additionally have the following 3rd party Python utility at the same directory:

BIOS Guard Script Tool (i.e. big_script_tool.py)

Apple EFI File Renamer

Description

Parses Apple EFI files and renames them based on Intel's official $IBIOSI$ tag as follows: Model_Version_Build_Year_Month_Day_Hour_Minute_Checksum. The checksum is calculated and added by the utility in order to differentiate any EFI files with the same $IBIOSI$ tag. In rare cases in which the $IBIOSI$ tag is compressed, the utility automatically first uses LongSoft's UEFIFind and UEFIExtract tools.

Usage

You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Apple EFI firmware.

Download

Compatibility

Prerequisites

To run the python script or its built/frozen/compiled binary, you need to have the following 3rd party tools at the same directory:

Apple EFI Package Extractor

Description

Parses Apple EFI firmware packages (i.e. FirmwareUpdate.pkg, BridgeOSUpdateCustomer.pkg), extracts their EFI images, splits those in IM4P format and renames the final SPI/BIOS images accordingly. The utility automatically uses the free version of AnyToISO to extract the EFI .pkg files. The subsequent IM4P splitting and EFI renaming requires the presence of "Apple EFI IM4P Splitter" and "Apple EFI File Renamer" utilities.

Usage

You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Apple EFI firmware package (.pkg) files. Depending on where AnyToISO is installed on your system, you must change the "anytoiso_path" variable accordingly.

Download

An already built/frozen/compiled binary is not provided because the script requires the user to set the AnyToISO executable path variable. Remember that you need to include prerequisites such as AnyToISO, Apple EFI IM4P Splitter and Apple EFI File Renamer for the utility to work.

Compatibility

Should work at all Windows & macOS operating systems which have Python 3.7 and AnyToISO support.

Prerequisites

To run the python script, you need to have the following 3rd party tools installed or placed at the same directory:

AnyToISO (i.e. anytoiso.exe)

UEFIExtract (i.e. UEFIExtract.exe)

Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller

PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often. Note that, due to this utility's nature, you may need to perform some small script changes for a built/frozen/compiled binary to work.

Make sure Python 3.7.0 or newer is installed:

python --version

Use pip to install PyInstaller:

pip3 install pyinstaller

Build/Freeze/Compile:

pyinstaller --noupx --onefile Apple_EFI_Package.py
